C&C please, stars appreciated (hey, just a joke, I don't care about them)

Sounds like a great contribution cant wait to check it out Just wanted to say thanks before hand. Ill be sure to rate you 5 stars if i havent allready

Thanks for the contribution.

To clarify, when he says it's for tile based games, he doesn't mean a 2D game. The code requires you to break up your 3D world into zones(tiles) and it uses those to determine the path. If a tile is toggled off then it ignores it, so the player can only traverse "on" tiles. I haven't tested it yet but I remember it from an old demo from long ago and it was the best point & click pathfinding I'd seen for 3DGS. It's superior to the code in the A* package I linked to(see Index). That code doesn't work 100% esp. with complex levels.

It is indeed for 3d games. A comparable game is "Silent Storm". About the "old demo from long ago": I wrote a new one and it's better than ever. I'll post a little demo soon.

Hi there!
Though from what i can see it looks pretty good, but could you please upload the path.wad file? That's missing! Still, it shows what you made is good.


Cheers

Just replace the textures. You don't need the path.wad I think (remove it from the texture manager).

Found two small bugs. The download link's still the same so just redownload it.

This sounds real interesting. Could you make it available in zip format?
